Hi there! We're taking my step-son to WDW for the first time from Aug 26-31. Any suggestions on where to start? We haven't booked our flights yet so we may come a day early and stay offsite to get the most out of our first day. Any help will be great!”

Hi Corinne!

How exciting that you will be at the most magical place on earth in just a few weeks!

I recommend that you make a list of your top five "must sees" for each day of your trip so you can make sure to experience the things the most to you without feeling disappointed that you don't see it all.

Also make sure to make all of your Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) in advance by calling 407-WDW-DINE. Your stepson may enjoy Chef Mickeys or Ohana, as those are favorites for boys.

Tour the Walt Disney World site to get an idea of the top attractions, dining options and recreation activities that you would like to experience so you can begin planning your days.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with to make your first trip to Walt Disney World magical!
